I'm in papatoetoe, so I'm not too far away either.
Theres a few regulars who meet at Manukau Chipmunks on Tuesdays (they have a secure babies area that most other places dont seem to have, and during term time its nice and quiet, and its free for under 1's and mums) from 10.30am if any of you would like to come along to meet other mums, But I am happy to come out to Botany any other day ------------- Brandon - 05/12/2003

well i am happy to meet up at Botany any time that suits and dont worry WorsilPie, this is my second but being that i have nearly a 15 year age gap it is like a 2nd and there is nothing that is a silly question when it comes to pregnancy and babies.
I am going back to work soon (well once i find a job) so will only have weekends to catch up after that ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Thats okay sue - Might have to tag along to one of your wednesday meets once I am better
Was nice to see you too Babykatnz, sorry about all the drama lol - teenage girls aye! Yep all sorted finally. Okay - so if any one wants to organise another meet up for people to attend maybe we should make it at another place -there were way too many pregnant ladies and ladies with prams today - got a little confusing! I am free next tuesday & thursday - just to get it started. Maybe we could meet at muffin break? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I cant do Tuesday mornings, but am free Wednesday and Thursday mornings.
Dont worry Lillis, you are giving me a reminder of what I'm going to have soon enough lol! Dunno about muffin break though, not very 'multiple pram' friendly inside, and with winter coming I dont think we want to be meeting outside? I wonder if we do it at Whitcoulls again, but make it clear we meet out on the deck/balcony/hallway... or whatever its called lol! Then its out of the way, but sheltered...? Plus I am sure they wont mind if we move chairs/ tables around to accomodate us all ------------- Brandon - 05/12/2003
